Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers slide deeper and deeper into the crisis in the NHL.

The team around the youngster from Cologne took a 0:1 win at the tail light of Arizona Coyote on Saturday (local time) and thus already the sixth bankruptcy in series. Only two teams have fewer points than Edmonton (50).

Draisaitl (22) was left without a shot in 19:01 minutes. In the opponent Tobias Rieder (25) tried it three times unsuccessfully and did not score a score point. Arizona now stands at 44 points.

Philipp Grubauer experienced a bitter evening with the Washington Capitals in the game at the last weak Chicago Blackhawks. With a score of 1:6, the national goalkeeper replaced Braden Holtby after two-thirds of the home team and had to take the lead once in a while. In the end it was 1:7.

On Friday, keeper Thomas Greiss had cleared the way for the New York Islanders to win with a shutdown. The 32-year-old from Füssen held all 45 shots of the opponent at the Carolina Hurricanes 3-0 and deserved special praise.

“He was great,”said coach Doug Weight:”He had confidence, came in and did the job. The day before, Jaroslav Halak, number one of the Islanders, had held 50 shots against the New York Rangers at 3-0.

]]>Suns-Star Devin Booker makes a gala appearance in the final of the three-way contest. He even sets a record. A guard wins the Skills Challenge.

When the Golden State Warriors meet the Phoenix Suns in the NBA, the winner is usually determined before the game begins.

The NBA champion has won twelve games in a row against the Suns – but at least at the NBA All-Star Weekend the Phoenix fans could celebrate a small success.

Suns star Devin Booker has won the three-way contest and even defeated the excellent three-shooter Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors.

Booker narrowly beat Thompson (25) and Tobias Harris (17) from the Detroit Pistons with a strong 28 points in the final.

In doing so, the 21-year-old broke the three-way record that Thompson and his “Splash Brother” Stephen Curry had previously held with 27 points – although a complete Moneyball series has only been around since 2014, which means that 34 points instead of the maximum possible 30 can be scored.

Defending champion Eric Gordon was a clear failure in the first round with twelve points.

Only Kyle Lowry with eleven points and Paul George (nine) were worse, and his team mate Russell Westbrook, sitting on the bench, laughed at his weak series.

After 20 attempts, George only had four points on his account – and also had to endure some ridicule on Twitter.

In the Skills Challenge, Spencer Dinwiddie from the Brooklyn Nets was once again a guard, after Big Man had the advantage in the last two years.

Dinwiddie won the final against Lauri Markannen, because the rookie of the Chicago Bulls, who had been so strong up to then, got a pass without getting into the net.

Dinwiddie, who scored a total of three of his four attempts in the three rounds, is the second Nets player after Jason Kidd in 2003 to win the Skill Contest.

]]>Sad story from Iraq: A goalkeeper hides the death of his child. The reason for this is an important championship game a few hours later.

A soccer goalkeeper in Iraq hid the death of his baby a few hours before the kick-off of an important championship game, so that he could be part of an important encounter:”A few hours before the game my five-day-old son died after complications after birth,”Naft Mayan Keeper Alaa Alaa Ahmad told AFP news agency.

The 21-year-old asked his family to keep the news of the baby’s death a secret so that he could take part in the duel against Al-Shorta. He was eager to play against the team of the Ministry of the Interior.

“I kept it a secret, didn’t tell my teammates or the coach, because I knew they wouldn’t let me play,”said Ahmad, who was one of his team’s strongest players in a 1-1 draw with the favourites.

While his teammates were celebrating after the final whistle, however, he burst into tears. The story of the goalkeeper quickly became publicised in social media, and he received a lot of encouragement for his decision.

Paris Saint-Germain leaves the defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League and, after a 5-2 win in Ligue 1, is unstoppably marching towards the championship (read more about the game in the TICKER).

Although Unai Emery’s team were trailing early in the match against Racing Strasbourg after Jean-Eude’s Aholous goal (6th minute), PSG immediately gave the right answer.

Julian Draxler equalised in the tenth minute of the game and scored his third goal of the season in favour of the French championship leader.

After the Real bankruptcy, the world champion had still complained that he was not receiving enough bets – but the 24-year-old was allowed to play against Strasbourg until the age of 82. Kevin Trapp was forced to serve his red-barrier.

Draxler was brimming with enthusiasm and played well, even though he was not directly involved in the subsequent goals of Neymar (21st), Angel di Maria (23rd) and Edinson Cavani (73rd/79th), and Stephane Bahoken’s 2-3 win for Racing.

With this victory, Paris (68 points) will once again extend their lead to twelve points on the AS Monaco. The Monegassen (56) sent Dijon home 4-0 on Friday.

The pursuers from Marseille and Lyon will play on Sunday (schedule/results of Ligue 1).

]]>With two fastest times on Saturday afternoon, Thierry Neuville will give away his pursuers at the Swedish Rally – Kris Meeke retires.

Hyundai driver Thierry Neuville extended his lead at the Sweden Rally, the second round of the 2018 World Rally Championship (WRC) on Saturday afternoon and, after 14 of 19 special stages, is on the winning course. In the overall standings, the Belgian has an 18.8-second advantage over Craig Breen (Citroen). Neuville’s team mate Andreas Mikkelsen is third, but he is already 30.8 seconds behind.

After managing his narrow lead on his rival Breen in the morning, Neuville made an early start to the afternoon and attacked:”Last year I took it easy and took off last year,”recalls Neuville recalling the 2017 Swedish Rally, in which he retired from the lead after a driving mistake.”Now I have to fight, and I attack.”

This paid off for the Belgian, but almost went wrong in the second round of the “Vargasen” special stage. At the famous “Colin’s Crest”, Neuville slightly touched the snow wall on the left-hand side of the road when jumping off, and his Hyundai i20 WRC flew through the air at a threatening angle. The Belgian, however, survived this moment of shock and unimpressedly set the fastest time.

Ott Tänak and Kris Meeke collide

Breen was unable to keep up with the pace of Neuville this afternoon, apart from the first special stage, but is still on course for his best result in the World Rally Championship. Mikkelsen defended his third place overall, but his team mate Hayden Paddon is still sitting on his neck. The New Zealander is only 7.6 seconds behind the Norwegian. After a weak start to the Monte Carlo Rally, Hyundai is on the verge of returning to Sweden with an exclamation mark.

Mads Östberg continues to show a strong performance at his first start in the Citroen C3 WRC and defended fifth place on Saturday afternoon. However, Esapekka Lappi (Toyota) is only 8.4 seconds behind him in striking distance. Seventh and eighth place went to Jari-Matti Latvala (Toyota) and Teemu Suninen in the best M-Sport-Ford.

Ott Tänak (Toyota) fell after an unfortunate incident at the 13. special stage to eighth place. The Estonian collided with Kris Meeke’s slow-moving Citroën in an overtaking manoeuvre and came off the track, which cost him a good one-and-a-half minutes.”I overtook him in a tight spot and when he fell back, he hit us,”says Tänak.

Sebastien Ogier falls further and further behind

Meeke, on the other hand, sees the question of guilt differently:”I was on the side of the road, and then he hit me and flew away,”says the Briton. Meeke had previously hit a snow wall and complained about the engine’s loss of power. After 13. The Citroen driver then finally had to give up the special stage.

For Sebastien Ogier, the Rally Sweden is still a hopeless undertaking. Due to his early starting position in second place, the reigning World Champion lost further seconds on Saturday afternoon and is already 4:22.1 seconds behind Neuville in tenth place overall. The Frenchman is facing a historically poor result.

In the WRC2 classification, there is a duel between Takamoto Katsuda (Ford) and Pontus Tidemand (Skoda), in which the lead changed several times. The Toyota junior driver from Japan is currently 12.1 seconds ahead of the reigning WRC2 champion. Third in the class is Ole Christian Veiby (Skoda, +24.3 seconds).

On Saturday evening, two short special stages will follow at the Rally Sweden. First of all, the 1.90-kilometre-long spectator’s stage at the horse racetrack in Karlstadt, followed by the 3.13-kilometre-long “Torsby Sprint”. The final day’s programme includes three special stages over a total distance of 51.88 kilometres.

]]>Le Mans promoter ACO pushes the envelope in its search for rules for the 2020s – but IMSA does not want to abandon its core principles

The not always easy partnership between Le Mans organizer ACO and the US motorsport authority IMSA will be put to the test again in these weeks. After the ACO was unable to assert itself at IMSA by attempting to postpone the Petit Le Mans, both sides are now once again confronted with different interests in the search for common prototype rules from 2021/22 onwards.

The French automobile club wants IMSA to use the LMP1 chassis for the next DPi generation, after having put its idea of starting hypercars as the top category in the future on ice for the benefit of a “dumping LMP1” for the time being. IMSA, on the other hand, wants to maintain its currently superior price-performance ratio. It is not easy to reconcile interests, especially since a certain competitive relationship between the two categories cannot be denied. Currently, the DPi vehicles are based on LMP2 chassis.

Pierre Fillon explains to’ Motorsport-Total. com’ what the prototyping world should look like in the future:”We are working on common prototyping rules. As in the DPi category, we want to give our future cars a look with which they can identify themselves. At the same time, we want to reduce costs. As big differences remained that in the LMP1 hybrid drives are allowed and that manufacturers have to build their own car instead of using LMP2 material from the bar as a basis.

IMSA insists on its own recipe for success

IMSA, however, does not want to miss its trump card:”We will defend the points that we consider to be the basic principles of the DPi category,”IMSA CEO Scott Atherton announces to’ Motorsport-Total. com’,”these have attracted an impressive number of manufacturers and teams and are popular with the fans. They look strong and sound good. The budgets are in an absolutely feasible area and guarantee sustainability.”

He looks at the negotiations with the ACO soberly:”We are working together with the vision of a common prototype platform so that the same vehicles can win in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona. The DPi vehicles are homologated until the end of the IMSA 2021 season. The period was extended in the run-up to the 24 hours of Daytona 2018, because the WEC switched to a winter calendar.

The current idea of holding the IMSA SportsCar Championship with LMP1 bolides from 2022 onwards is met with little enthusiasm by two of the four currently committed DPi manufacturers:”We should focus on constancy and take the momentum with which we are currently advancing our sport rather than constantly tinkering with it,” warns Mazda Motorsport Director John Doonan. d. Red.) drastically deteriorate.”

HPD Vice President Steve Eriksen is also reservedly opposed to the LMP1 idea:”We have built P1 and P2 vehicles in the past. The difference in costs is like day and night. A part of DPi’s success is the attractiveness of costs” The ACO still has to do a lot of convincing work in order to achieve its goals.

The record champion has announced “intensive” safety checks for spectators in the stadium for the first round of the Champions League’s first round match against Besiktas Istanbul (from 8.45 pm in the LIVETICKER).

As a justification, the club cites a special situation around the match, from which the fans of the guests are excluded.

Background: Besiktas has voluntarily waived the tickets from the contingent of guests he is actually entitled to.

The Turkish top club was punished with an exclusion from all European competitions following violent clashes in last year’s European League quarter-finals at Lyon Olympics. The sentence is suspended for an initial period of two years.

Due to fear of new riots, Besiktas has decided to forego the support of its own fans at international away matches for the entire season.

FC Bayern is now obliged to give the approximately 3800 tickets to the public sale. However, the record champion must ensure that only members of his own team are allowed to have these cards.

Should, contrary to expectations, guest supporters gain access to the stadium, FC Bayern is in the worst case threatened with a penalty.

“As a club, if we do not comply with UEFA’s safety regulations, we can be punished ourselves, which in the extreme case even means that we are excluded from European competitions,”says Dr. Dr. Dr. Hübner. Michael Gerlinger, Director Legal Affairs of FC Bayern Bayern opposite Bild.

To avoid this scenario, there should be “intensive admission controls”.
